In summary, the speaker is a sophomore civil engineering student who needs to come up with a project for their strength of materials class. They initially thought of using self-consolidating concrete, but their professor advised against it due to their limited knowledge of concrete. The speaker is now looking for alternative ideas, such as using metal, which has more predictable behavior in compression, tensile, and deflection tests.

I'm a sophomore civil engineering student in strength of materials class and have to come up with a project. The project was take something and due a compression, tensile, deflection, etc. test. My first thought was to do something with self-consolidating concrete, which I heard about last summer at my internship, but don't know much about. I asked my professor and said since I haven't taken other civil classes it would be hard because I haven't learned enough about concrete yet, so I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

If you are a sophomore CE student, you should know the difference between 'due' and 'do'.

Instead of using concrete, how about something made of metal? Metals have fairly predictable behavior is such tests.
